Beautiful!

Perfect! Congratulations!!

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! I can deal with just about anything, but I absolutely hate mice! This is the time of year they try to sneak inside and they can get into the tiniest of openings. We're ready with the traps in our old basement. Maybe we should get a snake. 😂

Great! Thanks again. 😀

Thank you. You don't find your down duvets clump in the washing machine?

Hi everyone. It has been a while since I've posted. We've been closed since last March but will reopen this summer. I have always had beautiful quilts and goose-down comforters on my beds, but that will now be changing. Can anyone please recommend very nice down-alternative comforters that are...
